Rugby League: 5 Reasons You Should Be Watching

2. €˜X-Factor€™ Players

Ben barba First, let me explain what I mean by this: I would describe an X-Factor player as someone who just has that special something, the ability to do something extraordinary, something that you can€™t coach, to win a game. It€™s hard to explain it exactly, but I€™m sure you get the gist. Now, there are many of these players dotted around; Benji Marshall, Matt Bowen, Billy Slater, Shaun Johnson, and in the UK, Sam Tomkins, the list really is endless. But one man, more than any other, seems to come up with these sort of plays more than any other, it€™s the man that they nick-named X-Factor, Ben Barba. Here is a video showing his absolute best, and why he is the personification of €˜X-Factor€™€ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTg1M9fwBn8
